[0036] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 Now, the elastic needle 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. The elastic needle 100 is applied to the earphone charging box. Of course, the elastic needle 100 can also be applied to other electronic devices that require it, such as electronic bracelets, handheld electric fans, etc. The elastic needle 100 includes: a needle tube 10, a needle head 20 and an elastic member 30.

[0037] A receiving cavity 11 is provided in the needle tube 10, and the opposite ends of the needle tube 10 are respectively a first end 12 and a second end 13. The first end 12 is provided with a first through hole 121 communicating with the receiving cavity 11, and the second end 13 is provided with a second through hole 131 communicating with the receiving cavity 11, and the second end 13 also has an inclined surface 132 facing the receiving cavity 11; the needle 20 is movably inserted into the receiving cavity 11 through the first through hole 121; the elastic member 30 is arranged in the receiving cavity 11, and one end of the elastic member 30 abuts against the inclined surface 132, and the other end of the elastic member 30 abuts against one end of the needle 20 located in the receiving cavity 11.

[0038] The second end 13 is used for conducting contact with the circuit board 300 , and the end of the needle 20 located outside the receiving cavity 11 is used for conducting contact with the earphone.

[0039] The needle 20 can move along the axial direction of the needle tube 10 through the first through hole 121. Specifically, when the needle 20 is pressed, the needle 20 can be retracted into the receiving cavity 11 through the first through hole 121 under the action of external force, and the elastic member 30 is compressed, that is, the needle 20 is in a compressed state. After the external force is removed, the elastic member 30 rebounds, and the needle 20 can extend out of the receiving cavity 11 through the first through hole 121 under the elastic force of the elastic member 30, that is, the needle 20 is in a natural state.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the elastic needle 100 provided in the present application has a second through hole 131 connected to the receiving chamber 11 at the second end 13. When the external liquid flows from the first through hole 121 along the side wall of the needle 20 to the bottom of the receiving chamber 11, the liquid can flow downward along the inclined surface 132 and finally be discharged from the second through hole 131, effectively avoiding the accumulation of crystal particles of the liquid on the inner wall of the needle tube 10, solving the problem that the liquid forms crystals inside the needle tube 10 and causing the elastic needle 100 to fail, that is, reducing the factors affecting the movement performance of the needle 20, effectively ensuring the service life of the elastic needle 100, and the needle 20 can maintain good electrical contact with the earphone under the action of the elastic member 30, so as to stably charge the earphone. In addition, the inclined surface 132 can guide the liquid at the bottom of the receiving chamber to the second through hole 131 to prevent the liquid from accumulating at the bottom of the receiving chamber 11, and at the same time can limit the elastic member 30 to prevent the elastic member 30 from escaping from the receiving chamber 11 from the second through hole 131.

[0041] It should be noted that liquid includes but is not limited to sweat, beverages and other fluid substances that can form crystalline particles.

[0042] Specifically in this embodiment, the cross-sections of the needle tube 10 and the needle head 20 are both circular, and the first through hole 121 and the second through hole 131 are both circular.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, the second through hole 131 is circular, and the inner diameter of the second through hole 131 is 0.5 mm-1.2 mm.

[0044] Optionally, the inner diameter of the second through hole 131 is 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm or 1.2 mm.

[0045] By setting the inner diameter of the second through hole 131 to 0.5 mm-1.2 mm, the liquid in the receiving cavity 11 can be discharged promptly and smoothly, and the elastic member 30 can be prevented from falling out of the second through hole 131 .

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, a protrusion 14 is provided on the outer wall of the needle tube 10 , and the protrusion 14 is provided close to the second end 13 .

[0047] Optionally, the protrusion 14 is in a ring shape and is disposed along the circumference of the needle tube 10 .

[0048] By arranging the protrusion 14 at a position of the needle tube 10 close to the second end 13, when the needle tube 10 is inserted on the circuit board 300, the protrusion 14 abuts against the circuit board 300, effectively ensuring the stability of the connection between the needle tube 10 and the circuit board 300.

[0049] It should be noted that at least a portion of the needle 20 is always located in the receiving cavity 11 . It can be understood that the needle 20 always maintains a state of being movably connected with the needle tube 10 to prevent the needle 20 from completely separating from the needle tube 10 .

[0050] Specifically, the needle 20 includes a connecting portion 21 and a contact portion 22 connected to each other. The connecting portion 21 is located in the receiving cavity 11 , and the contact portion 22 is movably disposed in the first through hole 121 , and at least a portion of the contact portion 22 extends out of the first end 12 in the first through hole 121 .

[0051] Specifically, when the needle head 20 moves relative to the needle tube 10 along the axial direction of the needle tube 10 , the connecting portion 21 moves in the receiving cavity 11 , and the contact portion 22 enters and exits the receiving cavity 11 through the first through hole 121 .

[0052] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the outer diameter of the contact portion 22 , and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the inner diameter of the first through hole 121 , and the outer diameter of the contact portion 22 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first through hole 121 .

[0053] In the above technical solution, the outer diameter of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the outer diameter of the contact portion 22, and the outer diameter of the connecting portion 21 is greater than the inner diameter of the first through hole 121. In this way, the connecting portion 21 can be prevented from escaping from the accommodating cavity 11 from the first through hole 121, so that the connecting portion 21 is always arranged in the accommodating cavity 11; and the outer diameter of the contact portion 22 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first through hole 121. In this way, the contact portion 22 can move through the first through hole 121 to enter and exit the accommodating cavity 11.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic member 30 is a coil spring, and the outer wall of the elastic member 30 is slidably matched with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 11 .

[0055] By adopting a coil spring, the elasticity of the coil spring is better; by making the outer wall of the elastic member 30 slide and cooperate with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, the axial deformation of the elastic member 30 is guided, which can ensure the stability of the axial deformation of the elastic member 30 and effectively prevent the elastic member 30 from generating radial deformation.

[0056] See also Figure 3The present application also provides a liquid discharge component, including the elastic needle 100 and the absorbent cotton 200 of any of the above embodiments, the absorbent cotton 200 is in contact with the second end 13, and the absorbent cotton 200 is used to absorb the liquid discharged from the second through hole 131.

[0057] Compared with the prior art, the drainage assembly provided by the present application has a second through hole 131 connected to the accommodating chamber 11 at the second end 13. When the external liquid flows from the first through hole 121 along the side wall of the needle 20 to the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11, the liquid can flow downward along the inclined surface 132 and finally be discharged from the second through hole 131. The absorbent cotton 200 is used to absorb the liquid discharged from the second through hole 131, which is beneficial to accelerate the diffusion of the liquid and effectively avoid the accumulation of crystal particles of the liquid on the inner wall of the needle tube 10, thereby reducing the factors affecting the movement performance of the needle 20 and effectively ensuring the service life of the elastic needle 100.

[0058] See also Figure 4 , the present application also provides an earphone charging box, including the above-mentioned drainage assembly.

[0059] Compared with the prior art, the earphone charging box provided in the present application adopts the above-mentioned drainage component. The drainage component opens a second through hole 131 connected to the accommodating chamber 11 at the second end 13. When the external liquid flows from the first through hole 121 along the side wall of the needle 20 to the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11, the liquid can flow downward along the inclined surface 132 and finally be discharged from the second through hole 131. The absorbent cotton 200 is used to absorb the liquid discharged from the second through hole 131, which is beneficial to accelerate the diffusion of the liquid and effectively avoid the accumulation of crystal particles of the liquid on the inner wall of the needle tube 10, thereby reducing the factors affecting the movement performance of the needle 20 and effectively ensuring the service life of the elastic needle 100.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, the earphone charging box also includes a circuit board 300, the circuit board 300 has a first side surface 301 and a second side surface 302 that are relatively arranged, and the circuit board 300 is also provided with a socket 303 that passes through the first side surface 301 and the second side surface 302, the second end 13 is inserted into the socket 303, the first end 12 protrudes out of the first side surface 301, and the absorbent cotton 200 is attached to the second side surface 302.
